Biography:

Zac grew up around Bondi, making it easy to nip down to the beach for a surf between his academic pursuits. He attended Bondi Public School fromKindergarten to Year 6, then moved to Rose Bay Secondary College for early high school. In Year 9, Zac transferred to Reddam House after receiving a full academic scholarship for the remainder of his schooling. He graduated from Reddam House with an ATAR of 99.90, placing 15th in NSW for Chemistry and achieving Band 6 results in all subjects.

Now at UNSW, Zac pursues his passion for mathematics alongside his interest in practical, real-world applications through his study of mechanical engineering.Outside of his studies, Zac plays guitar in two bands, leading him to occasionally tour interstate. He also avidly follows Formula 1 and is particularly interested in keeping up to date with the sport’s latest technical innovations.
